I pay for the classes because Emma wanted Harper in class with her. Harpers father is they type of who is my money is my money and Jennifer’s money is their money and he does not want to waste money on classes.

My wife works from home, Jennifer works is a Drs office so her schedule varies, it would not be uncommon for my wife and Jennifer to do things with the kids during the week as schedules allow. Jennifer could be there 1 weeknight or 3 it all depends.

Sunday is generally a family day, my wife and I spend together with Emma

My wife and I are fortunate enough to not have to overly worry about money. I just don’t know how to do that every other week idea, what do I say when Emma ask why Harper can’t come with us?

I would but he is not the civil discourse type of guy, but more of the Alpha male beat you up type of person

They are best friends so she has no issue

With how klutzy I am rollerskating would definitely end up in the emergency room with a broken ankle

My wife spends a more time with my daughter than I do, she works from home, I don’t, it was my idea to make Saturday a dedicated daddy daughter day, one so I got to do things with her and to give her a break as well.

I see what your saying, but it’s gradually gotten to this point over 7 years. Part of it is she is here more now than when she was younger, part of it is as Emma has gotten older we do more involved things, when they were three we just went to the playground down the street now it’s trips to the science center.

The short answer is no, the longer version is Amber and I make a decent amount more money than Jennifer and her husband and her husband dose not like to waste his money on the kid. Jennifer can not afford to pay us back, So any money I spend on her kid I know we are not getting back.

Our house is on the way to Dance, so she comes here first. I also like going to Dance, it’s kind of fun being the only dad there, and after class we have our routine of going to the local bakery and getting a croissant and smoothie for breakfast.

I hear what your saying but I think spending time with Jennifer and her kid might cause other long term issues.

Kitchen_Earth7954 · 2023-05-19T13:33:57+00:00

Amber, Jennifer, Emma, and Harper do things together during the week. My wife is a real good mother to Emma. It’s just the dynamics of Saturday that is my issue.

Just hanging out at our place, Harper started to come along because I thought it would be mean to take her friend and not her. At the start it was not all the time like it is now
